Song Reader Concert

You may have heard about how Beck turned back the clock 100 years and released his most recent "album" Song Reader entirely as sheet music. Well, some talented folks are arranging the songs for performance and I will be part of a choir singing one of the songs and performing background vocals on several others. It should be a fun night. The concert is Feb. 28th at historic Somerville Theatre in Somerville, MA should you happen to be in the area.

My favorite online radio station, Minnesota Public Radio 89.3FM The Current is featuring 15 of the new Beck songs preformed by various artists on Sunday 2/24/13 at 10 EST.

You can stream it live or go here after the show to listen.

We got some radio coverage which includes several clips of the choir singing. I'm hoping a video/audio recording of the show will be made available sometime in the future.

I finally got some video of our choral feature "The Wolf is on the Hill." We're just a wee bit upstaged by the burlesque troupe who danced with the piece and make this video Not Safe For Work. You won't see me as I'm in the back row center and completely screened by our director. But I assure you, the chorus sounds very good.

Link.

Your singing Beck tunes is slowly killing Edgy. I hope you're happy.

I haven't done it since February, so I hope he's getting better.

The still shot from the video seems to feature lots of exposed boobies.

Re: Song Reader Concert

You should stop looking at this at work then, huh?

Seriously, though, everything mammary is covered by the big arrow from where I sit, so I didn't know it would be a problem. I'll edit the post so it's a link instead of an embed.
